Enjoy an irresistible feast of humour and discover the joys of French rural living with Peter Mayle's bestselling, much-loved account of 'A Year In Provence'.



Peter Mayle and his wife did what most of us only imagine doing when they made their long-cherished dream of a life abroad a reality: throwing caution to the wind, they bought a glorious two hundred year-old farmhouse in the Lub'ron Valley and began a new life. In a year that begins with a marathon lunch and continues with a host of gastronomic delights, they also survive the unexpected and often hilarious curiosities of rural life. From mastering the local accent and enduring invasion by bumbling builders, to discovering the finer points of boules and goat-racing, all the earthy pleasures of Proven'al life are conjured up in this enchanting portrait.

    A wonderful year, spent in a place that offers good wine and tasty food is what everybody would have at least once in life. For each month passing you could find several habits, recipes and moods from the part of France that probably is closest to Italy. After reading this book you'll try to leave your country if it hasn't food&wine traditions (or you'll apreciate your spanish or italian origins if you have them).
    People from Provence, in this book, are rough but kind, easy but troubled but know hot to enjoy life.
